Tonight’s dinner is all about using leftovers, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less delicious. I had some leftover lentils and stale bread, so I made these tasty fritters.

Steps

1

Earlier, I made a lentil soup for lunch. With the leftover lentils, I made a batter by adding the egg, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, crumbled stale bread, and assorted spices.
2

Season with salt, shape into small patties, and flatten them slightly. If the mixture is too soft, add more breadcrumbs.
3

Pour plenty of peanut oil into a skillet. When the oil is hot, fry the patties for a few minutes on each side until golden.
4

Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5

These are truly delicious—crispy and light. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite sauces or a fresh salad.
